Maybe somebody out there can help me. In the SDK Reference - Volume 2, the data structure BITMAPFILEHEADER has the field bfType, which is described by: "Specifies the size in DWORDs of the file." According to Petzold's article in the 11 September 1990 of PC Magazine, the field "specifies the size of the file in bytes." I assume that Petzold is correct, and not Microsoft. Am I correct?

You are correct. It is a DWORD that specifies the size of the .BMP file in BYTES. (you can see where the error came from...)
